"So, how many people are there?"

After most of the day had passed, Mi Tan'er finally finished her work. As soon as she got back, she lay on the bed and complained, "If I had known it would be this tiring, we should have gone into the Godhood Space first!"

"It's the same as entering the Godhood Space after I finish here!" Jiang Yuan was determined to wipe out the other races, so he naturally didn't want to give up this opportunity.

"Sigh, after working for most of the day, only two thousand people have agreed to help me! But how can two thousand people attack the Holy Spirit Clan's pass? Each pass has at least tens of thousands of people." Mi Tan'er said somewhat discouragedly.

The Holy Spirit Clan mobilized 10,000 people to besiege China last time, but at least tens of thousands of Holy Spirit Clan members have entered the Central Heaven Realm. Therefore, the situation is still not optimistic now that the Human Race has joined forces with other alien races to besiege the Holy Spirit Clan.

Jiang Yuan then asked, "What about its overall strength?"

"Around one thousand are at the Heavenly Spirit Realm, and the other one thousand are all at the Profound God Realm." Although Mi Tan'er knew that this team was already quite strong, she was still not happy, because even if the Holy Spirit Clan and the Human Clan used all their resources, they still couldn't compare.

"No, not a single one at the Supreme God Realm?" Jiang Yuan's smile turned strange. He had originally thought that Mi Tan'er had decent interpersonal relationships, but he hadn't expected her to be in such a sorry state.

"A miscalculation!"

Mi Tan'er shook her head and continued, "My second brother, that bastard, spread rumors outside that I was going to lead people to the Holy Spirit Clan's pass to their deaths, which made it impossible for any Supreme God Realm cultivators to help. We only managed to gather these Profound God Realm cultivators by borrowing most of their resources from Miao Miao; otherwise, we wouldn't even have enough for a thousand."

"Damn it, I knew it was you, you unreliable guy, who gave Tan'er this idea!"

Jiang Yuan wanted to ask more questions, but suddenly a figure kicked the door open and grabbed his collar with lightning speed.

"Sikong Miao?" Jiang Yuan said the name with suspicion.

"It is indeed your great-auntie!" Sikong Miao didn't try to hide it. Although she wasn't even up to Jiang Yuan's chin, her aura already overwhelmed him.

"Miaomiao, what are you doing!"

Mi Tan'er quickly stepped in to break up the fight; she hadn't expected Si Kong Miao to directly confront Jiang Yuan.

"No, you bastard, you tricked Tan'er into signing some kind of military pledge! What are you up to?!" Sikong Miao persisted, demanding an explanation from Jiang Yuan.

"Sikong Miao, let's talk this out. Do you look like a woman, resorting to physical violence?" Jiang Yuan maintained his basic manners; he didn't want to argue with a crazy woman.

"You're not acting like a man at all! Pushing my Tan'er out as a shield, are you trying to kill her?" Sikong Miao questioned.

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Do I need to prove to you whether I'm a man or not? Or are you trying to verify it for Tan'er? Of course, if Tan'er doesn't mind, I don't care!"

Sikong Miao didn't expect Jiang Yuan to be so harsh, directly accusing her of coveting her best friend's boyfriend.

"Scumbag!"

Despite her cursing, Sikong Miao still let go of Jiang Yuan's hand. Only after letting go did she realize that their actions just now were not friendly, because she had almost bumped into his face.

"Thank you for the compliment!" Jiang Yuan said, still having time to express his gratitude while tidying his clothes.

"Okay, okay, one of you is my boyfriend and the other is my best friend, there's no need to argue."

Fearing that the two would fight, Mi Tan'er quickly stood in the middle to act as a human cushion.

"You idiot! How can you believe a mere Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivator who only knows how to talk big?" Sikong Miao was furious when she saw Mi Tan'er still defending Jiang Yuan.

“Who are you calling all talk? I wielded a sword and fought my way from the City of Ten Thousand Races to Kunlun. Why didn’t you say I was just all talk then?” Jiang Yuan retorted.

"Tch, that's just luck protecting you. Without luck, you're nothing!" Sikong Miao may not have been recognized by luck, but even if she hasn't eaten pork, she's seen pigs run, right? Anyway, luck is an omnipotent thing, so it's not too much to defy the heavens.

“Yes, last time I mobilized the Allied Forces to come and support us, it was all just talk. I just opened my mouth and got an army of ten thousand to come and die with China! And when I wiped out a million Zerg, I just went in and spewed nonsense, spewing nonsense into the sky, the earth, and even their brains, until they couldn’t take it anymore,” Jiang Yuan said with a sneer.

Sikong Miao was speechless for a moment, while Mi Tan'er covered her mouth and suppressed a laugh.

"You're still laughing? I'll help you!" Sikong Miao turned around and glared at Mi Tan'er, their friendship just a facade.

"Cough cough!"

Mi Tan'er could only cough to suppress her laughter, then said seriously, "I have received professional training and I don't usually laugh."

"Unless I can't help it! Hahaha!"

Mi Tan'er laughed again, this time without hiding it, and laughed openly in front of the two of them.

Sikong Miao, who was still angry, could only stand there awkwardly, laughing and crying at the same time, when she saw Mi Tan'er's silly antics.

"Jiang Yuan, give me a straight answer. Are you confident that Tan'er can escape unscathed?" Sikong Miao poked Jiang Yuan's heart with her finger.

Jiang Yuan pondered for a few seconds, then said, "Do you know why I made Tan'er sign this pledge?"

"How do I know? What if you're just fickle and don't like my Tan'er anymore?" Sikong Miao had always been wary of Jiang Yuan. From a woman's intuition, she felt that Jiang Yuan's feelings for Mi Tan'er weren't true love.

Ignoring Sikong Miaofu's pointed remark, Jiang Yuan continued, "Tan'er has only a nominal title in the Fuxi clan; I want her to wield more real power!"

"Then what?"

"To control real power, one must have followers, and war is the best way to establish a person's prestige. If Tan'er can take this pass, not only will her support rate within the Fuxi clan increase, but people will also emerge throughout China to follow her. Only by becoming stronger from the inside out can she grow into a true successor to the God Emperor! Not just a successor who comes from bloodline!" Jiang Yuan's tone was very strong, as if he himself were the one to become the successor.
